As per official sources, the model stretch will have features like proper junctions, entry and exit points, functional drains, clearly visible road-signs, road furniture and safety items like crash-barrier, kerb-painting, road studs, delineators, aesthetic footpaths and foot over-bridges, highway lighting, landscaping and plantation, user facilities and wayside amenities, advance traffic management system, CCTV cameras, rainwater harvesting system and other eco-friendly measures.

“It will be ensured that this aforesaid stretch has all features of an ideal road which can set an example for the other NHAI and PWD projects in India,” said Col Virendra Singh Shekhawat, General Manager, Sadbhav Engineering Company, which manages the Rohtak-Hisar toll-way.
